Started this a few weeks ago, painting with friends at Benicia's Clock Tower park, and finished it today in my studio.  It was a lovely, clear day with great views of the Carquinez Hills across the strait.  Now available at Delta Gallery in Brentwood, www.deltagallery.com.

As this couple contemplated one of my favorite Picassos, I loved how they almost became one with the painting. This is Picasso's "Arlequin et Femme au Collier" at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. (Sold)

I love this vintage baby toy with his cute roundness and cheerful pastel colors! For this little painting I decided to place him in a bright, amorphous space, the way a baby might see him.

I saw this young woman sitting in a window alcove at the Louvre, focused intently on her phone. In the soft window glow, surrounded by gleaming marble, she had a quiet, timeless beauty.
